Back on May 15, 2010, Jessica Watson returned to the land after spending 210 days on her own on a small boat, only 33 feet long. She had traveled more than 22,000 nautical miles; it was a triumph. Anyone would be overwhelmed and scared by an undertaking like that, and yet she did that at only 16 years old. Of course, she did not just get up and leave to do such a thing....
